And what could be more appropriate at this time of year than the single sheet music for David Bowie and Bing Crosby's Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy. You all know the history of the song, but for those that don't, here's a brief recap... On 30th November 1977, Bing Crosby's Merrie Olde Christmas TV Special was broadcast in the US followed shortly after in the UK with a screening on Christmas Eve. The show was recorded in the UK on 11th September, 1977. The seemingly bizarre coupling of Bowie and Bing worked beautifully, and such was the public interest in the duet, that RCA issued it as a single in November 1982. It was a huge international hit, including in the UK where it reached #3 on the singles chart, making the performance an enduring Christmas classic. We're not sure if the original sheet music (on the left) was published to accompany the single or if it was issued around the time of the broadcast. Either way, it's not easy to find now. The less aesthetically pleasing version on the right was issued in recent times to tie in with one of the re-issues of Bing’s Christmas Sessions album and DVD. In November 2019, Decca records released Bing At Christmas - Bing Crosby With The London Symphony Orchestra. On the collection was a newly orchestrated Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy. This version finally gave the song the treatment it deserved after years of the mono version being the only available one. #DailyBowieThing #BowieSheetMusicSunday #BowieBing #PeaceOnEarth」12月21日 8時59分
